Chelsea-Liverpool: Battle… survival in the hunt for City

by

Character… final acquires for Chelsea and Liverpool their match today at “Stamford Bridge” (18:30, COSMOTE Sport 1) for the 21st game of the Premier League. And this is because Manchester City after the very difficult victory they achieved yesterday at the “Emirates” against Arsenal is now at +11 from the “blues” and +12 from the “reds” having one and two more matches respectively.

For the Londoners, who face City in the “Etihad” next game (15/1), the Thomas Tuchel has several racing headaches. Ben Chilwell and Reese James are definitely out of the fight, while Andreas Christensen is extremely doubtful. On the other hand, the Reds will not have him on the bench Jürgen Klopp, who was quarantined, but Pep Lynders’ assistant. At the same time, apart from the absences of the injured Thiago and Minamino but also of the punished Robertson (with Costas Tsimikas probably replacing him), there are also three players who were found positive in the coronavirus and have not been named.

It is worth noting that since the 0-0 draw in London in February 2008 for the Premier League, there has not been a goalless match between the two teams in any tournament for the past 38 games! In terms of bench fighting, Jürgen Klopp has the upper hand over Thomas Tuchel with 9 wins in 16 games, while he has lost three times and four matches have ended in a draw.
